In 2007, Steve was diagnosed with renal cancer. Although this was a frightening time, it began a journey of discovery into topics such as wellness, nutrition, meditation, and personal development. Much of his belief regarding the importance of healthy lifestyles stems from his experience with cancer and subsequent self-education. The essential nature of this knowledge was then solidified by caring for an abundance of patients in the Emergency Department suffering from complications of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer. Over the years, he began to realize that there was a positive side. He understood that many times these conditions could be prevented and often reversed.
He has years of experience taking care of tens of thousands of patients, and it is his unshakeable belief that we should all be active participants in our health, doing the best we can to take care of the most valuable gift that has been given to us. He believes that we can be better.
To this end, he has written two children’s books that impart lessons of good health and his latest work: “My Steps Forward: An Inspirational Guide to Living a Better Life,” which is part memoir and part inspirational. In its pages, he shares many of his thoughts on health and wellness.
